Transformer Shelf

The Transformer-Shelf designed by Martin Sammer prodcut design.

The design of this object allows to participate in the evolution of its shape.By using the TRANSFORMER-SHELF you will constantly rearrange the different units towards each other, creating myriad different shapes. This will have an influence on your impression of the object, the cognition of the surrounding room and the way you identify yourself with the Object.

he 120 x 85 x 75 cm size piece of furniture is composed of eight different modules, which are connected by an interlocking construction system to form a rectangular object. Drawn up in a reduced style, the compact body of the Transformer can be expanded through the active use of the drawer elements, simultaneously revealing the open inner structure.There are overall 20 different possibilities to insert elements in different sizes. The harmonised arrangement of shelf areas,recesses and lateral notches offers a maximal effective area of the modules, which are assimilated to standardised measure-ments. The cumulative height of the object, for example, corresponds to the dimensions of a worktable, while the drawer slots are in accordance with DIN. With a potential extended size of up to 3,7 meters per side the Transformer not only functions as a fluid shelving system, as a free-standing piece of furniture with a levitating character it can also serve as a partition.
